SHERYL CROW & The Students

PART 4 

Welcome to Part 4 of the conversation between Sheryl Crow and a room full of Lipscomb Music Industry Studies and Commercial Music students, recorded at The Well in Nashville. If you missed the first 3, go check those out, but you can listen in any order. In this segment, Abby asks Sheryl for her take on AI and on music’s potential to provoke listeners in meaningful ways. Sheryl also makes the case for being yourself instead of comparing or imitating, and then I step in to wrap things up.

You can hear the entire conversation by joining this project on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/TrueTunes for as little as $5 per month. Members also get access to exclusive articles, livestream events, special audio content, special stuff from JJT’s archives, and much more. And don’t miss our new editorial feed at TrueTunes.Substack.com.

And if you missed them, here are the previous episodes in the series…

A note for longtime listeners: True Tunes Connect isn’t the classic True Tunes Podcast, though it comes from the same place. These episodes run shorter — usually 15 to 20 minutes — built around two things we care about most: developing artists, and developing the audiences who need them. The long-form conversations you remember haven’t gone anywhere; they’ll surface from time to time as Special Features, and the full extended interview (including the rest of this Sheryl Crow conversation) is available to our Patreon members (and coming soon to our Substack subscribers) at Patreon.com/TrueTunes and TrueTunes.Substack.com.

We will also continue to throw super-short “Microdose” episodes into the feed, along with some @45RPM specials. But True Tunes Connect is a wider, more comprehensive project we are developing to connect artists to the ideas, inspiration, and resources they need, and listeners to the artists they love. It’s about artist – and audience – development and connection, with expressions that include the podcast, articles, workshops, books, and gatherings. You’ll hear about it all – including our creed – here on the pilot and in upcoming episodes. Spread the word!
